In the ongoing investigations into Chief of Cabinet Manuel Adorni's foreign trips and properties—following his March resumption of press conferences—President Javier Milei chaired a cabinet meeting on April 6 at Casa Rosada, explicitly handing control to Adorni and renewing support amid judicial scrutiny. New details reveal Adorni received US$100,000 via mortgage from two women linked to his prior apartment purchase. Adorni later met Security Minister Alejandra Monteoliva.
On April 6, 2026, Javier Milei chaired the first cabinet meeting since February 24 in Casa Rosada's Salón Eva Perón, lasting over two hours. Following earlier controversies prompting Adorni's press conference return on March 25, the president opened the session but quickly handed it to Manuel Adorni, publicly affirming support before ministers and urging a focus on governance, per government sources.
Adorni, under probes for alleged illicit enrichment including trips to Punta del Este and New York, and undeclared properties, led the meeting. He later met Security Minister Alejandra Monteoliva to review 2024/2025 results and plan 2026/2027 across narcotrafficking combat, public order, prisons, and security.
Federal prosecutor Gerardo Pollicita is advancing the case, requesting full property records for Adorni and wife Bettina Julieta Angeletti. Verification shows Adorni mortgaged his former Caballito apartment at Asamblea 1100, receiving US$85,000 from Graciela Isabel Molina and US$15,000 from Victoria María José Cancio—timing aligns with his country house buy.
Milei also met Chilean President José Antonio Kast on trade and border security.
